NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On April 12, 1999, Pactiv Corporation ("Pactiv"), formerly known as Tenneco
Packaging Inc., sold its containerboard and corrugated packaging products
business (the "Group") to Packaging Corporation of America ("PCA") for
$2.2 billion. The Group is the predecessor to PCA. The $2.2 billion purchase
price paid to Pactiv for the Group consisted of $246.5 million in cash, the
assumption of $1.8 billion of debt incurred by Pactiv immediately prior to the
closing, and the issuance of a 45% common equity interest in PCA. PCA Holdings,
an entity organized and controlled by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, acquired
the remaining 55% common equity interest in PCA for $236.5 million in cash.
These events are collectively referred to as the "Transactions." Because
significant veto rights were retained by Pactiv, the carryover basis of
accounting was used and no goodwill was recognized. Fees of $23.8 million were
incurred as part of the Transactions and were recorded as a charge to
stockholders' equity.
On August 25, 1999, PCA Holdings and Pactiv agreed that the acquisition
consideration should be reduced as a result of a post-closing price adjustment
by $20.0 million. On September 23, 1999, Pactiv paid PCA $20.7 million,
representing the $20.0 million adjustment and $0.7 million of interest through
the date of payment by Pactiv.
PCA's consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2000 and for the
period from April 12, 1999 to September 30, 1999, are unaudited but include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that management
considers necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with Article 10 of
SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Operating results during the period ended September 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
period ending December 31, 2000.
As a result of the Group's relationship with Pactiv, the combined
consolidated balance sheets and the related combined consolidated income
statements are not necessarily indicative of what actually would have occurred
had the Group been a stand-alone entity. Additionally, these combined financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or
results of operations of PCA.
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts in the financial statements and the
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
PCA is primarily engaged in one line of business: the manufacture and sale
of packaging materials, boxes and containers for industrial and consumer
markets. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of total revenues. PCA
has no foreign operations.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Emerging
Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached a final consensus on Issue No. 00-10,
"Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs". The Task Force concluded
that all shipping and handling billings to a customer in a sales transaction
should be classified as revenue, whereas all shipping and handling costs should
be classified as cost of sales. The consensus should be applied in the fourth
quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. The Company intends
to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2000. Amounts will be
reclassified in all prior periods presented in accordance with Issue No. 00-10.
In December, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." The SAB defines basic criteria that must be met before revenue can
be recognized. This SAB is effective October 1, 2000. The Company believes that
application of this SAB is not expected to have a material impact on PCA's
financial position or results of operations.
In June, 1998, Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("FAS 133"),
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" was issued and is
effective for the Company January 1, 2001. FAS 133, as amended by Financial
Accounting Standards No. 138, requires the Company to recognize all derivatives
as either assets or liabilities and to measure those instruments at fair value.
It further provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair
value, cash flow or foreign currency hedges and establishes respective
accounting standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative
instruments. Upon adoption, the Company will be required to adjust hedging
instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and recognize the offsetting
gains or losses as adjustments to be reported in net income or other
comprehensive income, as appropriate. The Company does not expect the adoption
of FAS 133 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for the 1999 periods has been calculated using the
historical earnings of the Group and PCA, and the number of shares resulting
from the April 12, 1999 transaction (430,000 common shares), as adjusted to
reflect the 220-for-one stock split which became effective on October 19, 1999.

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at
the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on management's
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Because these are
subject to many forces beyond management's control, interim results are subject
to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
On June 29, 2000, the Company completed the refinancing of its
$735.0 million senior secured term debt and $150.0 million senior secured
revolving credit facility. The new debt structure was originally at the prime
rate until July 5, 2000, when the base rate loans were converted into eurodollar
loans. The new refinancing lowered the Company's margins over LIBOR on Term
Loans A and B and eliminated Term Loan C, resulting in an average margin
reduction of about 100 basis points. The Company incurred approximately
$3.4 million in bank syndication and arrangement fees, which were rolled into
the current debt structure.
As of September 30, 2000, annual payments for debt during the next five
years and all years thereafter are: $12.4 million; $100.4 million;
$108.9 million; $118.9 million; $124.0 million and $741.8 million.
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On February 2, 2000, PCA completed an initial public offering of its common
stock in which Pactiv Corporation sold 35,000,000 of its 41,160,240 shares of
common stock in PCA, and PCA issued an additional 11,250,000 shares. The net
proceeds to PCA were approximately $126.4 million at an initial public offering
price of $12.00 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering
expenses.
PCA used substantially all of the net proceeds to redeem all outstanding
shares of its 12 3/8% senior exchangeable preferred stock due 2010 (1,058,094
shares as of March 3, 2000) at a redemption price of 112.375% of its liquidation
preference, plus accrued and unpaid dividends through March 3, 2000, the date of
redemption. The total paid to redeem the senior exchangeable preferred stock was
$124.4 million, which included $5.5 million of accrued and unpaid dividends.
On April 12, 1999, PCA issued 100 shares of Junior Preferred Stock,
liquidation preference of $1.00 per share. Holders of the Junior Preferred Stock
are not entitled to receive any dividends or distributions and had, prior to
February 2, 2000, the right to elect one director to PCA's board of directors.
Shares of Junior Preferred Stock may not be reissued after being reacquired in
any manner by PCA.
7. EXTRAORDINARY LOSS
During the first quarter of 1999, the Group extinguished $16.6 million of
debt related to mill assets. In connection with that extinguishment an
extraordinary loss of $10.6 million was recorded ($6.3 million, net of the
related tax effects).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
On April 12, 1999, Pactiv Corporation, formerly known as Tenneco
Packaging Inc., sold its containerboard and corrugated packaging products
business to Packaging Corporation of America for $2.2 billion. We refer to that
business in this report as the Group. The $2.2 billion purchase price paid to
Pactiv consisted of $246.5 million in cash, the assumption of $1.8 billion of
debt incurred by Pactiv immediately prior to the closing, and the issuance of a
45% common equity interest in PCA. PCA Holdings, an entity organized and
controlled by Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, acquired the remaining 55% common
equity interest in PCA for $236.5 million in cash. We refer to these events in
this report as the Transactions.
From its formation in January 1999 through the closing of the Transactions
on April 12, 1999, PCA did not have any significant operations. Accordingly, the
historical financial results for the periods prior to April 12, 1999 described
below are those of the Group. The historical financial results for the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 include the pro forma results of
the Group through April 11, 1999, assuming the Transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1999.
The Group operated as a division of Pactiv, and did not operate as a
separate, stand-alone entity. As a result, the historical financial information
of the Group does not reflect what the Group's financial position and results of
operations would have been had the Group operated as a separate, stand-alone
entity during the periods presented.
PCA's acquisition of the Group as part of the Transactions was accounted for
using historical values for the contributed assets. Purchase accounting was not
applied because, under the applicable accounting guidance, a change of control
was deemed not to have occurred as a result of the participating veto rights
held by Pactiv after the closing of the Transactions under the terms of a
stockholders agreement.
GENERAL
The market for containerboard has historically been cyclical. Containerboard
demand is dependent upon both domestic demand for corrugated packaging products
and linerboard export activity. Domestic demand for corrugated packaging
products is the more stable factor. Exports represent about 20% of total
linerboard shipments.
Pulp & Paper Week, an industry publication, in its October 23, 2000
publication, reported that average linerboard and semi-chemical medium prices
for 42 lb. Liner-East and 26 lb. Medium-East, which are representative benchmark
grades, remained at $475 and $445 per ton, respectively, from the previous
month. The reported price for 42 lb. Liner-East has remained unchanged for eight
consecutive months while the reported price for 26 lb Medium-East decreased $15
per ton during the third quarter. According to Pulp & Paper Week, average prices
in October, 2000 for linerboard and corrugating medium were 12% and 11% higher,
respectively, than October, 1999 prices.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NET SALES
Net sales increased by $24.7 million, or 5.6%, for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. The increase was the
result of increases in sales prices of containerboard and corrugated products.
Total corrugated products volume decreased 2.7% for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. The decrease was due to
the fact that the third quarter of 2000 had
11
<PAGE>
two fewer workdays, those days not falling on a holiday or weekend, than the
third quarter of 1999. On a comparable shipments-per-workday basis, corrugated
products volume was up 0.4% from the third quarter of 1999.
According to Pulp & Paper Week, average linerboard and semi-chemical medium
prices for 42 lb. Liner-East and 26 lb. Medium-East, which are representative
benchmark grades, were $475 and $452, respectively, per ton for the three months
ended September 30, 2000. This compares to $425 and $400, respectively, per ton
for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
INCOME BEFORE INTEREST EXPENSE AND TAXES
Operating income increased by $32.7 million, or 51.3%, for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999.
The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to the price
increases described above.
Gross margins increased $37.3 million, or 37.3%, for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. Gross margins increased
to 29.3% of sales in the third quarter of 2000 from 22.5% of sales in the third
quarter of 1999 due to the price increases described above.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 3.0%, for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily the result of increased salary
and selling expenses.
Corporate overhead for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased
by $1.2 million, or 14.4%, from the comparable period in 1999. The third quarter
1999 expenses were lower as a result of some information systems costs being
reimbursed to PCA by Pactiv in accordance with the terms of the Transactions.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
Interest expense decreased by $9.7 million, or 24.4%, for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 from the three months ended September 30, 1999,
primarily as a result of voluntary prepayments PCA made on its term loans under
the senior credit facility.
PCA's effective tax rate was 40.0% for the three months ended September 30,
2000 and 41.6% for the comparable period in 1999. The tax rate is higher than
the federal statutory rate of 35.0% due to state income taxes.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO PRO FORMA NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
NET SALES
Net sales increased by $147.3 million, or 11.8%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from the comparable pro forma period in 1999. The increase
was primarily the result of increases in sales prices of containerboard and
corrugated products.
Total corrugated products volume was essentially flat for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from the comparable period in 1999. On a comparable
shipments-per-workday basis, corrugated products volume was up 0.5% from the
first nine months of 1999.
According to Pulp & Paper Week, average linerboard and semi-chemical medium
prices for 42 lb. Liner-East and 26 lb. Medium-East, which are representative
benchmark grades, were $466 and $446, respectively, per ton for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. This compares to $394 and $348, respectively, per ton
for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
12
<PAGE>
INCOME BEFORE INTEREST EXPENSE AND TAXES
Operating income increased by $122.7 million, or 90.8%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable
to the price increases described above.
Gross margins increased $123.9 million, or 50.3%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 from the comparable pro forma period in 1999. Gross margins
increased to 26.5% of sales in the first nine months of 2000 from 19.7% of sales
in the pro forma first nine months of 1999 due primarily to the price increases
described above.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 0.5%, for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999. The increase was primarily the result of increased salary
and selling expenses.
Corporate overhead for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by
$0.5 million, or 1.7%, from the comparable pro forma period in 1999. The
increase reflects the lower expenses during the pro forma nine months ended
September 30, 1999 due to the reimbursement of some information systems costs to
PCA by Pactiv described above, partially offset by the difference between the
overhead charged to the Group by Pactiv and Pactiv's parent at the time,
Tenneco Inc., from January 1, 1999 through April 11, 1999 and reduced overhead
expenses incurred by PCA as a stand-alone entity in the first nine months of
2000.
INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
Interest expense decreased by $25.5 million, or 21.6%, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 from the pro forma nine months ended September 30,
1999, primarily as a result of voluntary prepayments PCA made on its term loans
under the senior credit facility.
PCA's effective tax rate was 40.5% for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 43.8% for the comparable pro forma period in 1999. The tax rate is
higher than the federal statutory rate of 35.0% due to state income taxes.
PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS AND ACCRETION OF PREFERRED STOCK ISSUANCE COSTS
Preferred stock dividends and accretion of preferred stock issuance costs
increased $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
the pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase was
attributable to PCA's redemption of its 12 3/8% senior exchangeable preferred
stock on March 3, 2000 at a redemption price of 112.375% of its liquidation
preference and the write-off of the remaining preferred stock issuance costs.
The redemption fee amounted to $13.1 million and the write-off of the remaining
preferred stock issuance costs was recorded as a $3.2 million non-cash charge.
The total of these non-recurring charges reduced net income available to common
shareholders by $16.3 million or $0.15 per diluted common share for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash flow provided by operating activities increased $129.7 million, or
119.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from the comparable pro
forma period in 1999. The increase was primarily due to increases in net income
and deferred income taxes. The pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1999
include adjustments to working capital, which reflect the retention of
liabilities by Pactiv, in accordance with the terms of the sale of the business
to PCA on April 12, 1999.
Net cash used for investing activities increased $12.5 million, or 16.7%,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the pro forma nine
months ended September 30, 1999, primarily as a result of increased capital
expenditures.
13
<PAGE>
Net cash used for financing activities increased $25.3 million, or 25.5%,
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from the comparable pro forma
period in 1999. The increase was primarily attributable to voluntary prepayments
made on PCA's term loans under its senior credit facility.
As of September 30, 2000, PCA had commitments for capital expenditures of
$47.9 million. PCA believes operating cash flow from continuing operations will
be sufficient to fund these commitments.
PCA's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and
borrowings under PCA's revolving credit facility. PCA expects to be able to fund
its debt service and capital expenditures, the primary uses of its cash, from
these sources.
PCA incurred substantial indebtedness in connection with the Transactions.
On April 12, 1999, PCA had approximately $1.8 billion of indebtedness
outstanding as compared to indebtedness of $17.6 million as of December 31,
1998. As of September 30, 2000, PCA's level of indebtedness had been reduced to
approximately $1.2 billion through voluntary prepayments of its senior bank
debt. PCA's significant debt service obligations could have material
consequences to PCA's securityholders.
Concurrently with the Transactions, PCA issued 9 5/8% senior subordinated
notes and 12 3/8% senior exchangeable preferred stock and entered into a senior
credit facility. The senior credit facility provided for three term loans in an
aggregate amount of $1.2 billion and a revolving credit facility with up to
$250.0 million in availability. Upon the closing of the Transactions, PCA
borrowed the full amount under the term loans and $9.0 million under the
revolving credit facility. Effective December 14, 1999, PCA elected to reduce
its availability under the revolving credit facility from $250.0 million to
$150.0 million.
PCA completed an initial public offering of its common stock on February 2,
2000 in which Pactiv Corporation sold 35,000,000 of its 41,160,240 shares of
common stock in PCA, and PCA issued an additional 11,250,000 shares. The net
proceeds to PCA were approximately $126.4 million at an initial public offering
price of $12.00 per share, after deducting the underwriting discounts and
offering expenses. PCA used substantially all of the net proceeds to redeem all
outstanding shares of its 12 3/8% senior exchangeable preferred stock, plus
accrued and unpaid dividends through March 3, 2000, the date of redemption.
PCA completed the refinancing of its $735.0 million senior secured term debt
and $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility on June 29, 2000.
Completion of the refinancing eliminated Term Loan C.
The following table provides the weighted average interest rate as of
September 30, 2000 for each of the term loans and the revolving credit facility.

The borrowings under the revolving credit facility are available to fund
PCA's working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general
corporate purposes. The Term Loan A must be repaid in quarterly installments
from September 2001 through June 2006. The Term Loan B must be repaid in
quarterly installments from September 2002 through June 2007. The revolving
credit facility will terminate in 2006.
14
<PAGE>
For the period April 12, 1999 through September 30, 2000, PCA made voluntary
prepayments totaling $554.0 million using proceeds from sales of its timberland
or excess cash to permanently reduce its borrowings under the term loans.
As a result of these voluntary prepayments, no quarterly installments are
due on the term loans until September 2001. As of September 30, 2000, PCA had
$150.0 million in availability and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving
credit facility.
On September 26, 2000, PCA entered into an agreement with Southern Timber
Ventures, LLC to sell approximately 385,000 acres of timberland. PCA expects to
receive from the sale approximately $250.0 million in cash and a 33 1/3% equity
ownership interest in Southern Timber Ventures, LLC. PCA expects to close the
sale by the end of November, 2000 and to use the net proceeds to make voluntary
prepayments on the term loans under its senior credit facility.
The instruments governing PCA's indebtedness, including the senior credit
facility and the indenture governing the notes, contain financial and other
covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of PCA and its
subsidiaries to:
- incur additional indebtedness,
- pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments,
- consummate certain asset sales,
- incur liens,
- enter into certain transactions with affiliates,
- merge or consolidate with any other person or sell or otherwise dispose of
all or substantially all of the assets of PCA, or
- use proceeds from timberlands disposition for corporate uses other than to
reduce debt.
These limitations, together with the highly leveraged nature of PCA, could
limit corporate and operating activities.
PCA believes that cash generated from operations will be adequate to meet
its anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working
capital needs for the next 12 months, and that cash generated from operations
and amounts available under the revolving credit facility will be adequate to
meet its anticipated debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working
capital needs for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however,
that PCA's business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that
future borrowings will be available under the senior credit facility or
otherwise to enable it to service its indebtedness, including the senior credit
facility, and the notes, to retire the notes when required or to make
anticipated capital expenditures. PCA's future operating performance and its
ability to service or refinance the notes, to service, extend or refinance the
senior credit facility and to pay cash dividends, will be subject to future
economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which
are beyond PCA's control.
MARKET RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
As a result of the Transactions, PCA is exposed to the impact of interest
rate changes and changes in the market value of its financial instruments. PCA
periodically enters into derivative instruments in order to minimize these
risks, but not for trading purposes.
Currently, PCA maintains two interest rate collar agreements. These LIBOR
interest rate collar agreements protect against rising interest rates while
simultaneously guaranteeing minimum interest rates. The notional amount of these
collars was $325.0 million as of September 30, 2000, resulting in the interest
rates on approximately 49.5% of PCA's term loan obligations being capped. The
weighted average floor of
15
<PAGE>
the interest rate collar agreements is 4.95% and the weighted average ceiling is
6.75%. On January 18, 2000, PCA terminated $110.0 million of interest rate
collar agreements and received $1.9 million. The senior credit facility also
provides PCA with the right to lock-in LIBOR interest rates for any amount and
for terms of one, two, three or six month periods. With approval of the lenders,
PCA can lock-in LIBOR interest rates for either a two-week or twelve-month
period.
PCA's earnings are affected by changes in short-term interest rates as a
result of borrowings under the term loans. If LIBOR interest rates for these
borrowings increase one percent, PCA's interest expense would increase, and
income before income taxes would decrease, by approximately $3.6 million
annually. As of September 30, 2000, the interest rate on the term loans was
based on a weighted average LIBOR rate of 6.66%. The effect of the interest rate
change to the fair market value of the outstanding debt is insignificant. This
analysis does not consider any other impacts on fair value that could exist in
such an interest rate environment. In the event of a change in interest rates,
management could take actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change.
However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and
their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in PCA's
financial structure.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
PCA is subject to, and must comply with, a variety of federal, state and
local environmental laws, particularly those relating to air and water quality,
waste disposal and the cleanup of contaminated soil and groundwater. Because
environmental regulations are constantly evolving, PCA has incurred, and will
continue to incur, costs to maintain compliance with those laws. In particular,
the United States Environmental Protection Agency recently finalized the Cluster
Rules, which govern pulp and paper mill operations, including those at the
Counce, Filer City, Valdosta and Tomahawk mills. Over the next several years,
the Cluster Rules will affect PCA's allowable discharges of air and water
pollutants, and require PCA to spend money to ensure compliance with those new
rules.
As is the case with any industrial operation, PCA has, in the past, incurred
costs associated with the remediation of soil or groundwater contamination, as
required by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, commonly known as the federal "Superfund" law, and analogous
state laws. Cleanup requirements arise with respect to properties PCA currently
owns or operates, former facilities and off-site facilities where PCA has
disposed of hazardous substances. Because liability under these laws is strict,
meaning that liability is imposed without fault, joint and several, meaning that
liability is imposed on each party without regard to contribution, and
retroactive, PCA could receive notifications of cleanup liability in the future
and this liability could be material. Under the terms of the contribution
agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions, Pactiv agreed to
retain all liability for all former facilities and all sites associated with
pre-closing off-site waste disposal. Pactiv also retained environmentally
impaired real property in Filer City, Michigan unrelated to current mill
operations.
IMPACT OF INFLATION
PCA does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations during the past three years.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future
financial condition, our industry and our business strategy. Statements that
contain words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "intend", "estimate",
"hope" or similar expressions, are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of PCA. Because
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and
16
<PAGE>
uncertainties, the plans, actions and actual results of PCA could differ
materially. Among the factors that could cause plans, actions and results to
differ materially from PCA's current expectations are those identified under the
caption "Risk Factors" in PCA's Registration Statements on Form S-4 and
Form S-1, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available
at the SEC's website at "www.sec.gov".

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In May 1999, PCA was served with a complaint filed in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (WINOFF
INDUSTRIES, INC., ET AL. V. STONE CONTAINER CORPORATION, ET AL.) alleging civil
violations of Section 1 of the Sherman Act in connection with the pricing and
production of linerboard from October 1, 1993 through November 30, 1995. The
case was consolidated with other similar cases by the Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation, all of which are now referred to as MDL 1261, IN RE
LINERBOARD ANTITRUST LITIGATION. Plaintiffs purport to represent nationwide
classes of purchasers of corrugated containers and sheets, and they name nine
major linerboard manufacturers as defendants. Plaintiffs seek treble damages for
allegedly unlawful corrugated container and sheet price increases, plus
attorneys' fees. PCA believes the allegations have no merit, is vigorously
defending itself, and believes the outcome of this litigation should not have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
PCA also is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
its business. These legal actions cover a broad variety of claims spanning the
entire business. PCA believes that the resolution of these legal actions will
not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition or results of operations.
